Does anyone live in or near Ipswich?

The funny thing is that I have posted on here before, but it does not show up.


I have seen a post from a lady (fairly recently, by which I mean 2022) who lives in Stowmarket, but this again does not seem to be available.


Please, all you Ipswich dwellers and people in surrounding areas, such as Stowmarket, Wooodbridge, Framlingham and all villages in between, send a messsage so we can find out how many of us there are.


I am beginning to think I am the only silver-surfer who lives in Suffolk! All the best to your potential chat companions.

Hi
I am looking to enjoy life again after the death of my husband .

Is there anybody who lives near Bury St Edmunds who likes theatre, cinema, walking and eating out and generally getting out and about exploring the area.

Please get in touch and let me know

Have you thought of volunteering Shelley? National Trust Ickworth perhaps...I know someone who goes there and also to Sutton Hoo...I am at the latter. Lots of interesting things go on...you can go in as little or often as you choose via a rota system you just pur your name on! Got me out of the house in same situation as yoursel and helped me a lot! You will make friends locally as a result.They may be looking for new volnteers right now..,,often are in the :Spring. Good Luck.

Hi there
Thank you so much but I do volunteer at Ickworth every Monday as a Room Storyteller. Been doing it since 2019 and just started back March 6th. Am considering doing another day as well perhaps a Sat or Sun as those days are still difficult.
I hope you are well and good to hear from you and thank you for your advice. x

No - I am here too...also not local but lived in coastal village for 22 years - the last 3 on my own - but am still a "foreigner" 🙂 Made my own interests by Volunteering where I;ve enjoyed interraction with visitors from all over the World - learned a lot and enjoyed it very much.

I enjoy reading Silversurfers news and anyone who wants to chat do drop a line...I am a bit spasmodic on here - spent a lot os spare time holding back the garden this summer...but as nights draw in am at home more. Have to make the effort to get out and walk my two dogs - my best pals now!

Oh well! With that overwhelming lack of response I can only assume that no-one is interested in chatting to their neighbours in Suffolk. Not unexpected really, that's the usual line with the Suffolk folk (no - I am not one, I moved up here 50 years ago) Nothing changes, does it? Or else I am the only silver-surfer living in this beautiful county.
